Subjectdevfs patch v6
  Hi, all. Version 6 of my devfs patch is now available from:
http://www.atnf.csiro.au/~rgooch/kernel-patches.html

This is against 2.1.79. Highlights of this release:

- Support for subdirectories

- Support for symbolic links (created by devfs_mk_symlink(), no
  support yet for creation via symlink(2))

- SCSI disc naming now cast in stone, with the format:
  /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3	whole disc on LUN=3, ID=2, bus=1, controller=0
  /dev/sd/c0b1t2u3p4	4th partition on LUN=3, ID=2, bus=1, controller=0

- loop devices now appear in devfs

- tty devices, console, serial ports, etc. now appear in devfs
  Thanks to C. Scott Ananian <cananian@alumni.princeton.edu>

- bugs with mounting devfs-only devices now fixed.

Enjoy!

				Regards,

					Richard....
